The UK government released a statement on Friday morning,
noting there is no obligation to cancel or postpone sporting fixtures this
weekend following the death of the Queen.
However, they have left the decision whether matches go
ahead to the individual organisations.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport held a
call with all major sports at 9.30 am to determine the plan of action for the
rest of this weekend’s calendar and stated they would not be banning sport.
Despite being down to individual governing bodies, the chair
of the DCMS Select Committee, Julian Knight, has told TalkSPORT that no
sporting events should take place out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II – who
passed away peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday afternoon.
It remains to be seen what the Premier League, English Football League, and Football Association will decide to do.
